Could Watch Dogs come to next-gen too? Ubisoft CEO remains coy
"PS3, 360, PC and, er, we'll see"
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has dropped the biggest hint yet that Watch Dogs could launch on next-generation consoles in addition to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Speaking on Spike TV, Guillemot confirmed that the game was being played on a high-end PC during Ubisoft's E3 conference.
But when asked which platforms Watch Dogs would eventually release on, Guillemot stumbled, saying:
"[Watch Dogs] is going to come on PS3, 360, PC and, er, we'll see."
Speculation ran rife yesterday following Watch Dogs' reveal, with many suggesting the game could be a next-gen title.
However, Ubisoft's press website was later updated to confirm that Watch Dogs would launch on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
"It's going to be very different to the games we've done in the past. More social, more open," Guillemot said.

Just reading up on the social features sounds a lot like what Nintendo Network is aiming for, and there was a bit of confusion to start with as to whether this was next or current gen, so maybe it's both?
Could it be on PS4 and XB3? Sure, but 2014 is a long way away, and I don't think Ubisoft would be developing for up to six major platforms at once.
I'm still expecting this to show up at the software showcase, or at least in the near future. If Nintendo do that one thing, then that's what people will remember.
